NEW DELHI: KFC garnered a lot of accolades for its recently launched 5-in-1 Meal Box. And the fast-food chain has now introduced an all new ‘gadgety’ variant of the same box.

The limited edition box comes with a built-in power bank. Dubbed as ‘Watt a Box,’ it lets you charge your
smartphone as you go about enjoying your meal.

KFC has said that a few lucky customers at select KFC stores in Mumbai and Delhi will get a chance to have their 5-in-1 Meal served in ‘Watt a Box’. Along with this, users can also participate in an online contest on KFC India’s
Facebook page and win more of these limited edition boxes.

A US-based video game peripherals company has designed a kit that can turn your Android smartphone into hand-held consoles that can play "Game Boy" and "Game Boy Color" games, a media report said.

Speaking about the same, Lluis Ruiz Ribot, CMO, KFC India said, “We launched the 5-in-1 Meal Box in March this year with the objective of providing an abundant complete meal and at an affordable price for our customers. With the launch of Watt a Box, we have gone a step ahead and also introduced an element of utility into the box. Each one of us spends a considerable time on our smartphones daily, and the phone battery going dead is almost like a nightmare! No longer is that the case, with the Watt a Box around”.

In the past too, food chains have tried to give a ‘tech twist’ to their offerings. For instance, Pizza Hut delivered pizzas in specially-designed boxes that could convert into pseudo movie projectors. The boxes consisted of a pop-out hole on the side, and users just had to slip in a lens into it.

Recently, McDonald’s also ran a similar promotion. The fast-food chain partnered with Rovio and Sony to create 360-degree videos, intended for the promotion of Rovio’s Angry Birds movie.

A wonderful idea if the box is made of some durable material like thick plastic or bakelite.Foolish if the box is just paper because it needs to be thrwn away after a while!
